Ok, heres the deal, I have a AMD Sempron 2200+, its rated at 166mhz @ 9 mult=1494MHZ
What I want I have done is OCed it up to 190mhz FSB @ 9 mult= 1710MHZ
It is running at about 105 F at idle and 111 F on 3-D load. If I raise it any more I will experience crashes during intensive gameplay after at least 3 hours, at 199mhz FSB it runs but may crash at idle in roughly 30 mins.
What I was thinking of doing is lowering the 9 multiplyer to 8.5 and upping the FSB to 199mhz to try and get a bit better throughput out of it and keep the heat down. That would be 1691.5MHZ.
My motherboard doesn't support clock speeds over 199mhz so that is why I want to max it out, I'll perform a 3d mark test to see which is better, the higher FSB or the higher Mult.
Let me know if you have any suggestions...
BTW I am running winxp
Maxtor 7200rpm ata/133 120gb, 8mb cache
768mb of pc3200 ddr ram (which is underclocked with my bus speed)
ATI radeon 9600 pro AGP 8X, Overclocked about 10% higher
A lot of fans
So my question is, "How do I unlock the Sempron?"
Thanks for any help, Derek
